It may have & I would have taken the same stance.

Dwight Howard is just a beast.

seriously, people way underrating Pau's D here, yes he got dunked a few times by Griffin but overall he kept Griffin in check when they went 1on1, it was the PnR that has helped Griffin increase his production against Pau. Lets not forget Pau held his own against Howard during 09 finals, where mr. Franchise Bynum kept getting into early foul trouble against Howard and not only that he also made Howard work on the defensive end too.

Here we go once again, Drew is somebody's spring board. Just talk about Pau. Is that the only way you guys can debate a player is to down another? Here's my take on Pau he's a decent defender & I do think he is underrated but I know you guys can't be telling me Pau is a defensive stopper.

As far as Drew, this the vibe I'm starting to get. I think most of you guys have called for his head so long that you've finally got your wish that you're worried. Like the Ex-boyfriend who let the fly honey get away then has to talk about her all day because he's not sure if he made the right choice. I think some of you guys are worried that Drew will put up better numbers than Howard as a 1st option in Philly than Howard did in Orlando & Howard may only put up Drew type numbers here because he ain't eating 1st. Then I think some egos will be hurt because you're afraid to look like an ass


nothing I posted bout Bynum in in accurate here, he got in foul trouble all series long and forced Pau to not only carry the offensive load against Howard but also had to hold his ground guard Howard most of the series....hardly a diss to Bynum, he was coming off an injury and couldn't keep up. Bringing up that series wasn't to diss Bynum, more to show Pau isnt some slouch on D with the likes of Zbo

Lapwnd the whole debate was suppose to be about Pau & Z-Bo. I'm done with this Bynum bashing stuff dude, it just details threads. I know you said those weren't you intentions but that's what's been going on in every other thread where Bynum is brought up. I never said what you said wasn't accurate. Bynum was on 1 leg in that series as you stated. So if it wasn't a dis then I tip my hat to you.
